> I feel like this comment and comments by western atheists make me think that the west has this idea of judeo-christian god that they just bring into any conversation without thinking deeply. For ramanujan god is more like an emotion. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan#Personality_and_spiritual_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan#Personalit... > While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing. That doesn't seem like an emotion at all. It's a very visual, concrete image. It's closer to the "western atheists" view of god that just an abstract feeling of some sort you were describing, wouldn't you agree?

Its a bit of a psychedelic experience. If someone was on LSD and seeing stuff i would compare it an emotional experience. Of course it goes deeper but just explaining the reasoning behind the word emotion

I had a similar experience while in college, although not as dramatic! While studying CS I was working on problems every night late into the night. I came a across a issue I could not figure out, and went to sleep frustrated. That night I had a dream where a very specific solution was told to me(a voice with text) and it was in a way I had never thought of. I tried it out the next day when I woke up and it worked. It always freaked me out as I don't know how that solution was given to me, my assumption is maybe the subconscious is more powerful than we thought in terms of reasoning.

  In the early stages of learning something totally new (a new language, etc) I will be completely confounded by something, only to wake up and find that I fully understand it. It's a spooky feeling because it really doesn't seem like you had the prerequisites for that understanding before you slept (although of course you must have).
